Reference numeral 5 denotes a sensitivity changeover switch, which is a slide switch provided near the upper side surface of the case body 1, and is a three-contact type of OFF, HI, and LO in this embodiment.

The case back cover 2 has a flat portion 2b on most of the front surface thereof, in other words, the back surface of the case 10 from above to below, and an end portion near the lower end on the front surface side, in other words, the case. 10 has a shape including a protruding portion 2a protruding toward the back surface side, and a vibration generating means, which will be described later, that is, a vibrator is arranged and housed inside this portion.

The mobile phone incoming call notification device of the present invention as described above is attached to the waist belt, the chest pocket of the shirt, or the like by using the clip 4 in a portion that comes into close contact with the user's body as much as possible. Since the clip 4 is provided on the flat portion 2b of the case back cover 2, the protruding portion 2a comes into closer contact with the user's body than the flat portion 2b when mounted.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an exemplary circuit used in the device of the present invention. Reference numeral 11 denotes a receiver, which receives an incoming signal from the telephone. Further, the receiving section 12 is provided with the above-mentioned sensitivity changeover switch 5 to change the receiving sensitivity in two steps and to turn on / off the power source (not shown). Reference numeral 12 is a vibrator drive unit, and 13 is a vibrator. The electric signal output from the vibrator drive unit 12 is input, the vibrator 13 converts the electric signal into a mechanical vibration and outputs a vibration, and the case 10 is displayed to the user. Vibration is transmitted through.

Reference numeral 14 is a control unit, and 15 is a timer unit. The control unit 14 operates the timer 16 in response to a signal from the receiving unit 11 and controls the vibrator driving unit 12 by receiving time data from the timer. . Reference numeral 16 denotes a power supply unit, which supplies power to each unit.

Depending on the distance from the telephone, the sensitivity changeover switch 5 is set from the OFF position to the LO or HI position and waits for an incoming call. When an incoming call is received, the receiving unit 11 in the apparatus receives it, notifies the control unit 14 of the reception, and activates the vibrator driving unit 12 to drive the vibrator 13 to output vibration. Since the vibrator 13 is housed inside the projecting portion 2a of the case back cover 2 as described above, its vibrations are reliably transmitted to the user's wearing site.

In this embodiment, the projecting portion 2a is a chevron-shaped projecting portion as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, but the entire case 10 may be curved toward the back surface in the vicinity of this, or a hook shape or the like may be formed. You may bend it.

On the other hand, the control unit 14 notified of the reception stops the vibration output of the vibrator 13 by temporarily stopping the vibrator driving unit 12 when the user notices the incoming call and starts the call, but at the same time, the timer outputs the vibration output. The vibrator 15 is operated and the time data is received from the timer 15, so that the vibrator driving unit 12 is operated for a certain period of time after the predetermined time has elapsed, and the vibration output of the vibrator 13 is performed. For example, as illustrated in the timing chart of FIG. 4, a vibration of several seconds is output every 30 seconds. And this is repeated until the call ends. Therefore, the user during the call can know the approximate call time.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, a clip for carrying is attached to the flat surface on the back side of the incoming call notification device of the mobile phone, and a projecting portion projecting to the back side from the mounting flat surface is formed at the end of the case. Therefore, when carrying it, this protrusion prevents it from falling off from the mounting part such as a belt. In addition, since the vibrator for informing the incoming call is built in the protruding part, the vibration is transmitted to the body of the user who carries it securely, and the incoming call is vibrated without using the ringing tone. Can be notified by.

Further, the vibrator is operated so as to vibrate for a predetermined time at regular time intervals not only when a call is received but also during a call, so that the user is made to recognize the approximate call time. Alternatively, it can be used by shortening the time interval and operating it so that it vibrates for a specified time, or by increasing the vibration strength successively and operating it so that it vibrates for a specified time at fixed time intervals. It is possible to inform the person that the call is going on for a long time without being noticed by the other party during the call, which is very convenient for users of the mobile phone whose call charges are high.
